Achievements
Growing up in the small NSW town of Sawtell, Bonnie was primarily a board paddler and swimmer. Picking up a paddle at the age of 17, she was a late bloomer on the ski. Her first race on a ski was within the Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Ironwoman trials 6 months later where she managed to grab a spot in the Professional series. Later this found her to be the youngest in the series for the following 3 years. Bonnie competed on the Ironwoman circuit for the next 8 years, as well as competing at State, Australian and World titles.
In that time highlights include:
- Multiple Australian Open board relay and swim team gold
- Female Australian Open Double Ski gold 2011
- 3rd Coolangatta Gold 2012 -2nd Kellogg’s Series round Coolum 2012
- State Open surf race gold 2011
- Australian Open Surf Race bronze 2011
- World Board Rescue gold 2008 & 2012
- Junior Australian team member
After a two-year layoff, Bonnie decided to focus on ski paddling, after struggling to fit in the training required for Ironwoman racing around work as a dietitian.
Since switching to ski paddling, highlights include:
- State Gold Open Female ski 2018
- Australian Bronze Open Female ski 2018
- Winner of Summer of Surf Female Ski series 2018
- Captaining QLD interstate team and winning female ski, taplin and mixed ski relay 2018
- 5th Molokai to Oahu Female Ocean ski 2018
- 7th ICF World Ocean Ski Championships 2019
